In depth
Verdict
Andromache shouldn't be too far away in a modest contest having run well last time out behind Mana Pools and being denied a clear run at a vital stage. In The frame has hinted at ability and ran his best race yet when fifth last time out and Sheik'n Swing scored well recently but has two furlongs further to travel and may not last home. Critical Stage proved a shock scorer under today's rider recently and will do well to repeat the dose in what looks a better race.
